Electric Technology Car News: With Baojun in front and MG behind, can Haima S5 successfully break through the small SUV market?

The competition in the Chinese brand small SUV market is very fierce. For cost-effectiveness, there is Baojun 510, and for personality and sports, there is MG ZS. If Haima S5 Young wants to break through in this red ocean, it must show some real skills. I wonder what special surprises this time Haima S5 Youth Edition 1.6L CVT will bring to the majority of car enthusiasts.

In terms of appearance, the Haima S5 Youth Edition has been successfully upgraded. The central grille has been changed to a T-shaped one for high recognition, the flat front of the car creates a sporty atmosphere, and the design of the headlight group also plays a finishing touch. The shape of the daytime running lights still looks good, and with the addition of lenses, the visual effect is good, and the owner of the car will not look shabby.

The body size of the CVT model has not changed, still 4195mm/1765mm/1625mm, with a wheelbase of 2560mm, which is smaller than the S5. The front face is not much different from the manual transmission, more individual but lacking in aesthetics. The proportions of the side are relatively coordinated, but the inclined waistline is a bit exaggerated. The line design of the tail is much more regular, and looks more pleasing to the eye than the front face.

The interior design is not bad, it is three-dimensional, youthful and unique. The central control LCD screen can add a certain sense of class, and the response speed and sensitivity are also good. The CVT model has the CarPlay function.

The panoramic imaging system of this car is very useful. In actual use, it can take into account the perspective of all angles, avoiding the owner from scratching. In addition, the sunroof is really large, so the whole car is very transparent after opening the sunroof. The sunroof can only be opened halfway, which is enough for half of the body to lean out and face the wind.

In terms of power, the Haima S5 Youth Edition uses a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, equipped with variable valve timing technology on the intake side. The data is the same as that of the manual transmission model, with a maximum power of 122 horsepower and a maximum torque of 160 Nm.

The launch of CVT models will certainly cater to more consumers who have a strong demand for automatic transmission. Although the dynamic product strength of the S5 Youth Edition still has some flaws, it can be regarded as perfect, without unacceptable flaws, and at the same time, various configurations have certain advantages in the same level. The CVT model is expected to be officially launched at the Chengdu Auto Show. If the price is reasonable and you can accept its design, then this car is a more reasonable choice.
